Hi,

As Pele said, the only available option is 301. For some reason BBC has
released 24 channels on the Red Button, but these can only be accessed on
Sky, Virgin and Freesat. They are for some unknown reason not available on
Freeview.

John.

Subject: [access-uk] Goodman's Smart Talk Freeview box and BBC red button.

Hi all,

I'm trying to watch the occasional piece of Olympic coverage on my TV, to
which I have a Goodman's box connected.

While I can watch most broadcasts, I get a problem if the event I'm watching
is moved on to the BBC red button, as I've found that the red button on the
Goodman's Freeview box remote doesn't correspond to the BBC red button.

Am I still correct in thinking that there is no way to access BBC Red button
coverage using a Goodman's Freeview box?

I'd be interested if someone could clarify this prior to the Paralympics, as
I may wish to access paralympic BBC coverage via the red button.
